Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 459

Gwendolyn arched a brow. Her tone was playful as she asked, “Can you really assuage my anger?”

Cedrick rubbed her soft cheeks and righteously declared, “I can be quite effective. In fact, I’m probably more effective than most expensive medicine. If you don’t believe me, you can check it out yourself.”

He leaned over and planted a kiss on her red lips.

As they continued to kiss, they made their way up the stairs.

When Zoey came downstairs and accidentally witnessed the romantic scene before her, she quickly turned around and left.

Nope, I didn’t see anything at all! I should give them their privacy.

The embarrassing sounds were muffled as the door to the bedroom was shut.

When night fell, Gwendolyn finally received a phone call from Treyton.

Although she answered the call, she refused to speak first.

After a few seconds of heavy silence, Treyton finally said, “Kiddo, I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

As Treyton had not had anything to eat for the entire day, his voice sounded somewhat feeble.

Gwendolyn’s tone was light as she asked, “Have you thought it through?”

Treyton sounded sincere as he replied, “Yeah. I was too rash. Since the engagement was announced in public, I’m afraid it’s a foregone conclusion. Even if we gave away twenty percent of the company’s shares, Craig wouldn’t relent.”

Gwendolyn sighed in relief. “It’s good that you’ve thought it through. So, since you’ve been thinking about it for a day and night, do you have any suggestions?”

“We should try to meet up with Jennifer first and discover the reason she agreed to the engagement in public. If she’s truly changed her mind, I will not interfere. However, if Craig had done something to her, I will do everything in my power to take her away.”

Gwendolyn sighed again. He’s got the first part right, but the rest of his thoughts are still too rash.

“Jennifer is now the daughter of the Newton family. Are you planning to elope with her? Craig will definitely send the police after you.”

Moreover, Craig worked with law enforcement himself. He would be able to mobilize them swiftly.

Treyton fell silent at that.

He had a hard time controlling his rationality when it came to matters related to Jennifer.

If he found out that Craig actually did something to Jennifer and hurt her, he would go mad and perhaps even shoot him.

Silence permeated from both ends of the line as they fell into deep thought.

A minute later, Gwendolyn spoke first. “It’s not ideal to discuss this over the phone. I’ll get the Federal Bureau of Investigation to pull their people back. Come over to Harrick Villa first, then we’ll talk face to face.”

“Okay.”

Half an hour later, Treyton arrived and knocked on the door.

Nico and Summer had also arrived. The five of them sat on the couch and began to discuss their plan of action.

However, the living room soon plunged into a long silence as their expressions turned grim and no one spoke.

After some time, Summer broke the silence.

“Gwendolyn, this truly is a difficult situation. Regardless of everything else, Jennifer is now a lady of the Newton family. Even if she is being held against her will by Craig, or even if she’s being threatened, it’s difficult for us to meddle with the Newton family’s affairs as long as he can come up with a plausible reason for his actions. We can’t whisk Jennifer away, nor can we make her call off the engagement.”

Nico added, “Craig has declared that Jennifer is sick and cannot leave the residence. She hasn’t been working either. It’s likely very difficult to meet with her.”

The living room once again plunged into a deathly silence.

Eventually, Cedrick said, “Craig is a member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Although I can’t involve myself in the Newton family’s matters, I can come up with a suitable excuse to get Nico to search the Newton residence. He can use the opportunity to meet with Jennifer.”
